Chapter 496 – Assassination Family Raven 5 (27)

When I met Yui in the morning, I felt that she was brighter than when I saw her yesterday.

She greeted her with a light hug, but Yui opened her mouth first.

“Brother, I received an oracle. It says that we must not leave the castle before the disaster is resolved.”

Speaking of oracles, does that mean the goddess said something to Yui? It was as if the goddess had given me an answer as I was contemplating whether to leave the Holy Kingdom and leave Godward behind.

“Really? Then I guess I’ll have to stay until then.”

“Perhaps they are trying to keep my brother, not me, in the Holy Kingdom? They say I was a candidate for sainthood, but I still only have the power of an ordinary priest.”

Solve disaster.

I don’t know what the method was, but Yui was aware that she didn’t have the power to do it.

However, the person who came with me, who had the power to solve the disaster, was able to capture me in the Holy Kingdom.

“It won’t be long before problems arise. Then we will have to save Caderal.”

“Is it Cathedral, not a holy country? The goddess said it was a holy country.”

“Yes. Cathedral. It seems that high-ranking people are growing something in the basement of the Vatican.”

Yui nodded her head after hearing what I said.

When she was thinking for a moment whether to tell Yui more information about the artificial oracle device Godsward, she said.

“The goddess was very pretty and her body was better than mine. She was wearing clothes that showed off her sides. I think I should try wearing them next time.”

I tilted my head at Yui’s words.

Do you remember everything that happened when you received the oracle, as well as the fact that you said you were a candidate for sainthood?

“Do you still have full memories of seeing the goddess? I know that in oracles, only some words remain deeply.”

“Yes. I don’t know why, but it remains. The goddess said that the most recent oracle said that the devils were dreaming of the devil’s coming when the devil died… Could it be that the fake oracle is the problem?”

Yui chattered as if she had received more information from the goddess than she expected.

Now that she has reached the core of the fake oracle, I think she can tell me God’s Word.

“It seems like something underground in the Vatican is creating an oracle. It seems like it could cause a disaster, but it would be unreasonable for me to attack the Vatican right now.”

“Ah! A broken angel. I heard there is such a thing. It is said that with a false oracle, she sends Hero candidates outside and prevents outsiders from entering Cathedral.”

She said as Yui pounded her palm with her fist as if she remembered something.

I heard from Yui that the main material for the artificial oracle device Godsworth is angel.

“If you have to fight an angel, it would be difficult for priests to be of help.”

She may have great resistance to divine power, but the only real power she has is the Paladin and me.

There was no guarantee that even such a paladin would be able to point a sword at an angel.

In fact, I’d be happy if you didn’t interfere with me trying to harm the angel.

“Then what should we do to prevent the disaster? The goddess also said that the damage can be minimized if Xian is there, so I hope people don’t get hurt.”

“If I reveal myself, the relationship between the Holy Kingdom and the Raven family will worsen. If there is proof that you received the goddess’ oracle, I think you can go underground. Have you checked?”

Currently, the relationship between Seongguk and the Raven family is ‘I don’t like it because even though they did the right thing, they didn’t follow the procedures.’ If Godsworth is destroyed before a disaster occurs, it will be very difficult to turn around.

After hearing my words, Yui looked at her body to see if any traces of her oracle remained on her body.

“I don’t think there are any traces. The goddess said her connection to me was vague, so I guess that’s why…”

Yui trailed off and placed her forehead against my chest.

“I take responsibility because it was my brother who touched my head ♥ She made a candidate for sainthood that she couldn’t live without her ♥”

I was a little surprised by Yui’s words and held her in my arms.

He was aware of what I had done to him.

I was a bit worried that she might be resented, but it would be better if she was asked to take responsibility like this.

“Yes. I will take responsibility.”

“Hehe♥ I won♥”

It seemed like she knew who won without even asking.

Do you really want to beat Gwen, who is like family to you? I lightly tapped Yui’s butt and said.

“I’ll just hide quietly until disaster strikes. It probably won’t take that long.”

“Oppa, what should I do?”

“If a disaster occurs, evacuate all nearby people to the outside of Cathedral. If the opponent is an angel, they may be able to gain strength from the priests’ presence.”

“I will. But can you solve the disaster?”

“I can do it.”

Even though the quest is extremely difficult for me, it has never asked me to do anything impossible.

***

“When did change begin?”

“I don’t know what the black wings mean.”

In the basement of the Vatican, where Godsworth is stored, priests who participated in the production gathered to observe the changes.

About half of the wings were stained black, and opinions were divided whether this was due to excessive use of the oracle or because the gods were angry.

We also exchanged opinions on what to do to return it to its original state.

The main opinions were to change the solution in which Godsword was stored and to push more divine power.

“Did you report it to the Pope and the Holy King?”

“Yes. He said not to use Godsworth but to first observe the changes.”

Still, it was thought that the angel’s wings turning black was a bad omen, so the priests wanted to get away from Godsworth.

However, it is impossible for the priests who created Godsword, which is a secret of the Holy Kingdom, to go outside.

I had no choice but to pray that I would soon get my white wings back.

***

I spent some time in the woods a little far from Caderal.

I didn’t send it alone.

“I’m the owner♡”

I summoned Shahemos and stayed with him.

After buying a lot of food from Caderal, I used Shadow Craft to dig a suitable oyster and neatly clean it to create a place to stay.

One way was to train alone until a disaster occurred, but I possessed Cyan Raven and called in Shahemoth, who had been left behind for a while.

Since there were two young men and women in a place with nothing to do, there was nothing to do but mix things up naturally. At that time, we tried corruption using heat, but there was no change in Shahemos.

The impact of the body itself being made up of my mana must be significant.

“I’m here, what are you thinking? Something to do with angels?”

Shahemos said, tapping my forehead with his finger.

“If an angel was secretly doing something, he wouldn’t necessarily call it a disaster, right?”

“That’s right. Something is going to explode so big you can see it even from here.”

It was a bit far from Cathedral, so I was concerned about that.

I closed my eyes and expanded my senses, then stroked the back of Shahemos in my arms and felt the warmth.

And when I felt something had happened and opened my eyes, Shahemos grabbed my cheek and kissed me.

“Master, I will be watching from inside.”

As Shahemoth became blurred, I felt her allocated mana her coming back to me.

“Okay. I think I can beat the angel this time.”

Yeonyeongsingong (連影神功)

As I exited her den while retrieving mana from the shadows scattered around, I saw Caderal with a pillar of light rising in the distance.

“It would be difficult to explain something else than a disaster at that level.”

I stepped on the wave wheel.

***

After speaking with Xian, Yui continued to worry about disaster.

There is a broken angel under the Holy See who speaks false oracles, and that angel will cause disaster.

Because I learned such amazing things, I couldn’t concentrate properly on my prayers to the goddess.

She prayed sincerely to prevent many people in Caderal from getting hurt, but from her experience speaking directly with the Goddess, she knew that her prayers were not reaching her.

‘Is it because an oracle was given to me?’

Even though she received an oracle and heard that she was a candidate for sainthood, it was very disappointing that there was nothing she could do as a priest.

“Priest Yui, what are you thinking?”

“Oh, no. What’s going on with Priest Rika?”

“Shall we go have lunch together?”

“Okay. Let’s go together.”

In the past, she had enjoyed spending time with fellow priests she had met during her stay at Cathedral, but it was a bit disappointing compared to the time of pleasure she had spent traveling around the Holy Kingdom with her of.

As she and Priest Rika were heading to her restaurant Yui, who is a female and has slightly more developed senses than an ordinary person, heard the sound of something breaking.

Yui turned her head and Rika followed suit.

“Priest Yui? Is there something?”

“Priest Rika. We must flee from Cathedral now!”

Kwaaaaa!

As soon as Yui finished her sentence, there was a huge explosion in the Pope’s palace.

Rika, who was shocked by the explosion that shocked the Goddess Church right next to the Holy See, nodded her head and ran away, and Yui also ran with her.

“Everyone needs to go outside!”

“What on earth.”

“What’s happening to the Vatican?!”

Yui said something that priests older than her, who still had trouble understanding the situation, could immediately understand.

“It’s a disaster handed down from an oracle!”

Yui shouted out the false oracle obtained through the mouth of a broken angel, which became true when the goddess overwrote it.

Yui and the young priests she was connected to, including Rika, ran screaming that a disaster had occurred, and when the priests at the Goddess Church ran outside, what they saw was an angel with black wings spread out on top of the Holy See.

“Is that an angel in the sky?”

“The wings are black…?”

When Godsworth, the broken angel, raised his hand, pillars of light began to fall from the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The huge pillar of light crashing down on the large building in Cathedral could be considered a disaster.
